Скачать или смотреть Shotta and Afwaza Rahman Dristy | Women Artisans and Market Access

This video presents the work of Shotta, an initiative of SAJIDA Foundation, led by Afwaza Rahman Dristy. It focuses on Dalit women in Bangladesh who face caste and gender discrimination, restricted mobility, and limited access to steady income.

This documentation reflects on Bangladeshi folk craft within a post colonial reality. For generations, work like kantha stitch, embroidery, and weaving has been done inside the home and often dismissed as ordinary domestic work. In practice, these are skilled forms of labor and knowledge.

This video was provided by Afwaza Rahman Dristy on behalf of the SAJIDA Foundation and the Shotta initiative for documentation and educational purposes.
